[AT] OT Lawn Tractor Mfg.

That was one of the fun things about designing it, trying to figure out
which speed and direction is the most common. I plan on doing one like
it for the 1641 Cub I have as well. That was one of the things I didn't
really like with the factory unit.

Saw Rons note. Might make a difference but who knows...
